Is there a way I can use a button(input type="button") to show the Bootstrap modal. Basically the default is using anchor based on the documentation. I have tried experimenting but no luck.
I'm not sure if my coding is wrong or the Bootstrap modal can only be activated if it is an anchor tag. I have also tried googling or researching if anyone has created this kind of result.
This should work the same way as with an anchor tag.
The problem is, it's based on the href attribute, referring to the id of the modal window, and placing this attribute on a button might cause some html validation to go wonky.
If you don't care about that kind of stuff you can just replace your a tag with a button tag.
Edit: just noticed you were using an input element rather than a button. Either way, it should still work.
Edit2: Just verified if what I was saying wasn't total BS by looking at the bootstrap code (2.3.2), and found this snippet:
$(document).on('click.modal.data-api', '[data-toggle="modal"]', function (e) {
var $this = $(this)
, href = $this.attr('href')
, $target = $($this.attr('data-target') || (href && href.replace(/.*(?=#[^\s]+$)/, ''))) //strip for ie7
, option = $target.data('modal') ? 'toggle' : $.extend({ remote:!/#/.test(href) && href }, $target.data(), $this.data())
e.preventDefault()
$target
.modal(option)
.one('hide', function () {
$this.focus()
})
})
Looking at this, the href attribute isn't required, and you can use data-target instead when working with inputs and buttons.
simply u can fire event on Button Click and call function "onclick=showModal()"
JS CODE
function showModal()
{
$("#modal-window-id").modal("show");
}

I want to take a tag and replace with a #Html.textarea() razor html helper but it doesn't look as if JQuery can replace DOM elements with html helpers. How do I go about this?
using(#Html.BeginForm())
{
<a id="clickme">Edit</a>
<div>#Model.username</div>
}
How can I replace this div with #Html.Textarea ? JQuery could do it with div and input tags.
jQuery cannot replace a tag with #Html.TextArea() !
The TextArea helper method is a C# method, which gets executed when razor tries to render the view. This happens in your web server. jQuery is a client side library and anything you do with jQuery happens at client side, in your browser.
But all these helper methods ultimately generate some HTML for DOM elements. That means, you can use jQuery to manipulate visibility of that.
If you are trying to do something like an inline edit, you can use a script like this , to start with
First, render the text area along with your label div, but have it hidden initially. Also wrap the label,edit link and the hidden input inside a container div which we can use later to help with our jQuery selectors.
#using (#Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="edit-item">
Edit
<div class="edit-label">#Model.FirstName</div>
#Html.TextAreaFor(a => a.FirstName,
new { style = "display:none;", #class = "edit-text" })
</div>
<div class="edit-item">
Edit
<div class="edit-label">#Model.UserName</div>
#Html.TextAreaFor(a => a.UserName,
new { style = "display:none;", #class = "edit-text" })
</div>
}
Now when the user clicks edit, you have to toggle the visibility of the label and hidden input and update the value of label after user done editing the value in the input element.
$(function () {
$("a[data-mode]").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var _this = $(this);
var c = _this.closest(".edit-item");
c.find(".edit-text").toggle();
c.find(".edit-label").toggle();
if (_this.attr("data-mode") === 'label') {
_this.attr("data-mode", 'edit');
_this.text("done");
} else if (_this.data("mode") === 'edit') {
c.find(".edit-label").text(c.find(".edit-text").val());
_this.text("edit");
_this.attr("data-mode", 'label');
}
});
});
This is a head start. You can optimize this code as needed.
Here is a working jsfiddle for your reference
I have a button in my page
<button onclick="document.getElementById('donation').style.visibility='visible'">Support</button>
That I want to have linked to making a hidden div (donation) visible. I'm not sure if the getElementById works with divs, but I couldn't find out either, because when I changed the Id to h1, with a simple color change for style, it didn't work either.
Is there a problem with my button or syntax?
You can still work this with an inline onclick.
Andrei is correct about the id needing to be an individual.
<button onclick="document.getElementById('donation').style.visibility='visible'">Support</button>
<div style="background-color: gray; width: 50px; height: 50px; visibility: hidden;" id="donation"></div>
Technically though, it's better to keep your css and javascript in the head tag or outside of the html.
In order for document.getElementById('donation') to return a DOM element this condition would need to be true
there should be one html element and only one with id="donation" in your page. For example: <div id="donation"></div>
It's possible that your function works flawlessly (you can easily tell if it is by looking at your browser console after you pushed the button) but your element would still remain not visible. For example, if its display property is set to none. There are many possible reasons why an element might not be rendered by the browser. The fastest way to pinpoint the reason would be for you to create a minimal, complete and verifiable example (using the <> button) where we could experience the issue.
For me, I think separating the codes will keep things clearer and readable.
<button id="donation_btn">Support</button>
The javascript
function enableDonation( button, donationElement ) {
// check if the button is defined
if ( button != undefined
&& button != null ) {
button.addEventListener( "click", function () {
donationElement.style.display = "block";
});
}
// execute the code on document load
window.addEventListener( "load", function () {
enableDonation(
document.getElementById( "donation_btn" ),
document.getElementById( "donation" )
);
});
I've created a html page and in that page I have forms, drop down lists and radio tags and tables. from one button I wanted to reset everything on the page when its clicked upon.
you can use the following JavaScript method to clear the HTML input file control's value:
function clearFileInputField(tagId) {
document.getElementById(tagId).innerHTML =
document.getElementById(tagId).innerHTML;
}
Or, if refactored in jQuery, this should work as well:
$("#control").html($("#control").html())
Or, for textbox type
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var ii=0; ii < elements.length; ii++) {
if (elements[ii].type == "text") {
elements[ii].value = "";
}
}
You could use a reset button, please refer to this page for more information -> LINK
But if you have multiple form on the page you can write a javascript function to reset all of them like this:
$('#yourResetButton').click(function(){
$('form').each(function(idx, obj){
obj.reset();
});
});
You could also refresh your page as stated in other answers but in my opinion that could be very disappointing for your users to see that the page is refreshing
A little working fiddle as example
You can reset with reset however you won't be able to reset your inputs that doesn't included into forms, otherwise you can clear inputs within your forms like:
$('form').each(function (index, obj) { obj.reset(); });
Example
<input type="button" onclick="function() {window.location.href = window.location.href;}" name="Reset" value="Reset">
How can I prevent the page from "jumping up" each time I click a link? E.g I have a link somewhere in the middle of the page and when I click it the page jumps up to the top.
Is the anchor href="#"? You can set it to href="javascript:void(0);" instead.
If you are going to a prevent default please use this one instead:
event.preventDefault ? event.preventDefault() : event.returnValue = false;
Let's presume that this is your HTML for the link:
Some link goes somewhere...
If you're using jQuery, try like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a#some_id').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
});
Demo on: http://jsfiddle.net/V7thw/
If you're not on jQuery drugs, try with this pure DOM JavaScript:
window.onload = function() {
if(document.readyState === 'complete') {
document.getElementById('some_id').onclick = function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
};
}
};
It will jump to the top if you set the link href property to # since it is looking for an anchor tag. Just leave off the href property and it won't go anywhere but it also won't look like a link anymore (and make sure to handle the click even in javascript or else it really won't be of much use).
The other option is to handle the click in javascript and inside your event handler, cancel the default action and return false.
e.preventDefault();
return false;
When I use the HTML <base> tag to define a base URL for all relative links on a page, anchor links also refer directly to the base URL. Is there a way to set the base URL that would still allow anchor links to refer to the currently open page?
For example, if I have a page at http://example.com/foo/:
Current behaviour:
<base href="http://example.com/" />
bar <!-- Links to "http://example.com/bar/" -->
baz <!-- Links to "http://example.com/#baz" -->
Desired behaviour:
<base href="http://example.com/" />
bar <!-- Links to "http://example.com/bar/" -->
baz <!-- Links to "http://example.com/foo/#baz" -->
I found a solution on this site: using-base-href-with-anchors that doesn't require jQuery, and here is a working snippet:
<base href="https://example.com/">
/test
Anchor
Or without inline JavaScript, something like this:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
var es = document.getElementsByTagName('a')
for(var i=0; i<es.length; i++){
es[i].addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault()
document.location.hash = e.target.getAttribute('href')
})
}
})
Building upon James Tomasino's answer, this one is slightly more efficient, solves a bug with double hashes in the URL and a syntax error.
$(document).ready(function() {
var pathname = window.location.href.split('#')[0];
$('a[href^="#"]').each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
link = $this.attr('href');
$this.attr('href', pathname + link);
});
});
A little bit of jQuery could probably help you with that. Although base href is working as desired, if you want your links beginning with an anchor (#) to be totally relative, you could hijack all links, check the href property for those starting with #, and rebuild them using the current URL.
$(document).ready(function () {
var pathname = window.location.href;
$('a').each(function () {
var link = $(this).attr('href');
if (link.substr(0,1) == "#") {
$(this).attr('href', pathname + link);
}
});
}
Here's an even shorter, jQuery based version I use in a production environment, and it works well for me.
$().ready(function() {
$("a[href^='\#']").each(function() {
this.href = location.href.split("#")[0] + '#' + this.href.substr(this.href.indexOf('#')+1);
});
});
You could also provide an absolute URL:
<base href="https://example.com/">
test
Rather than this
test
I'm afraid there is no way to solve this without any server-side or browser-side script. You can try the following plain JavaScript (without jQuery) implementation:
document.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
var element = event.target;
if (element.tagName.toLowerCase() == "a" &&
element.getAttribute("href").indexOf("#") === 0) {
element.href = location.href + element.getAttribute("href");
}
});
<base href="https://example.com/">
/test
#test
It also works (unlike the other answers) for dynamically generated (i.e. created with JavaScript) a elements.
If you use PHP, you can use following function to generate anchor links:
function generateAnchorLink($anchor) {
$currentURL = "//{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}";
$escaped = htmlspecialchars($currentURL, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
return $escaped . '#' . $anchor;
}
Use it in the code like that:
baz
To prevent multiple #s in a URL:
document.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
var element = event.target;
if (element.tagName.toLowerCase() == "a" &&
element.getAttribute("href").indexOf("#") === 0) {
my_href = location.href + element.getAttribute("href");
my_href = my_href.replace(/#+/g, '#');
element.href = my_href;
}
});
My approach is to search for all links to an anchor, and prefix them with the document URL.
This only requires JavaScript on the initial page load and preserves browser features like opening links in a new tab. It also and doesn't depend on jQuery, etc.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
// Get the current URL, removing any fragment
var documentUrl = document.location.href.replace(/#.*$/, '')
// Iterate through all links
var linkEls = document.getElementsByTagName('A')
for (var linkIndex = 0; linkIndex < linkEls.length; linkIndex++) {
var linkEl = linkEls[linkIndex]
// Ignore links that don't begin with #
if (!linkEl.getAttribute('href').match(/^#/)) {
continue;
}
// Convert to an absolute URL
linkEl.setAttribute('href', documentUrl + linkEl.getAttribute('href'))
}
})
You can use some JavaScript code inside the tag that links.
<span onclick="javascript:var mytarget=((document.location.href.indexOf('#')==-1)? document.location.href + '#destination_anchor' : document.location.href);document.location.href=mytarget;return false;" style="display:inline-block;border:1px solid;border-radius:0.3rem"
>Text of link</span>
How does it work when the user clicks?
First it checks if the anchor (#) is already present in the URL. The condition is tested before the "?" sign. This is to avoid the anchor being added twice in the URL if the user clicks again the same link, since the redirection then wouldn't work.
If there is sharp sign (#) in the existing URL, the anchor is appended to it and the result is saved in the mytarget variable. Else, keep the page URL unchanged.
Lastly, go to the (modified or unchanged) URL stored by the mytarget variable.
Instead of <span>, you can also use <div> or even <a> tags.
I would suggest avoiding <a> in order to avoid any unwanted redirection if JavaScript is disabled or not working, and emulate the look of your <a> tag with some CSS styling.
If, despite this, you want to use the <a> tag, don't forget adding return false; at the end of the JavaScript code and set the href attribute like this <a onclick="here the JavaScript code;return false;" href="javascript:return false;">...</a>.
From the example given in the question. To achieve the desired behavior, I do not see the need of using a "base" tag at all.
The page is at http://example.com/foo/
The below code will give the desired behaviour:
bar <!-- Links to "http://example.com/bar/" -->
baz <!-- Links to "http://example.com/foo/#baz" -->
The trick is to use "/" at the beginning of string href="/bar/".
If you're using Angular 2 or later (and just targeting the web), you can do this:
File component.ts
document = document; // Make document available in template
File component.html
<a [href]="document.location.pathname + '#' + anchorName">Click Here</a>
